I needed surgery on my knee and he made me feel very comfortable and he was very reassuring that I would be just fine after surgery, and I was. Love his bedside manner, a very down to earth person. I definitely recommend him.

was out for 6 months, and my knee is still the same, had a meniscus tear, cartlidge damage, and he operated on it, 6 months later and the pain is still there..I have to work so this pain is a problem for me. Too much time in between visits to make things better.

I had a crushed shoulder . It was healing poorly . I was in danger of losing the use of my arm permanently ,if I listened to my original Dr . Dr Friedman installed an artificial shoulder . Quite a difficult operation by any doctors standards . Chances of success are limited . Dr Friedman performed this operation with the highest degree of success . I didn't really understand how lucky I was to have had Dr Friedman until I talked to another Dr ,who explained in detail what he had performed

I was referred to Dr. Friedman by a family member who worked in the OR with him and by a co-worker who had numerous surgeries by him. He is easy to talk to and caring about his patients. Getting a call from him the evening of the out-patient surgery is helpful. I have had 2 surgeries by Dr. Friedman and I wouldn't go to anyone else!

Dr. Friedman is an exceptionally skilled orthopaedic surgeon. His diagnoses are always right on target. Will not put you thru unnecessary surgery. Operating is a last resort. I highly recommend him.
